Set Up ESXi Dump Collector from the Host Profiles Interface in the vSphere Web Client

<

|

You can set up ESXi Dump Collector for a reference host with esxcli or directly in the Host Profiles panels of the vSphere Web Client. You can export the host profile and write a rule that applies the profile to all hosts provisioned with Auto Deploy.

About this task

Best practice is to set up hosts to use ESXi Dump Collector with the esxcli system coredump command and save the host profile (see Configure ESXi Dump Collector with ESXCLI). If you prefer to use a GUI, set up ESXi Dump Collector from the Host Profiles interface.

Prerequisites

Verify that at least one partition has sufficient storage capability for core dumps from multiple hosts provisioned with vSphere Auto Deploy.

Procedure

In the vSphere Web Client, click Rules and Profiles and click Host Profiles.

For a new profile, click the Create Profile from a host icon, or right-click a profile that you want to modify and select Edit Host Profile.
